The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A cinematic point-and-click thriller with a graphic novel feel, blending charming and witty dialogue with a tense, post-apocalyptic time-travel puzzle.

What players say

Players are split on this eco-thriller point-and-click. Many praise its story and themes, but others find the puzzles illogical, the walking slow, and the game buggy. The open ending frustrates some.
